Gladiolus Giant Flowering Roma

Gladioli Giant Flowering ‘Roma’ will leave you speechless with its stunning spires of vibrant red bloom. Growing up to 120 cm these beautiful blooms grow en masse along strong and upright spikes with their stunning red colour creating the perfect contrast against their deep-green sword-shaped leaves.

These elegant red blooms are ideal when mixed amongst the back of a summer border or container and will shine when complimented with neutral tones such as Gladioli ‘White Prosperity’ or ‘Smokey’. Gladioli also make excellent cut flowers and this single colour beauty will steal the show in any arrangement.

For the best results, plant in clusters of five or more in a position of full sun with each bulb 10 cm deep and 10 cm apart. If possible separate groups of bulbs with some flowers saved for cutting throughout the summer and the rest for garden display.

After the buds have formed, stake the stems at least 5 cm from the base, preventing damage to the bulbs. Gladioli need water during the growing period and mulching with peat or compost to conserve moisture.
